Former South Dakota Secretary of Social Services Matt Althoff has been named the new president and CEO of Glory House. He begins his new role on Dec. 1.
“The board is confident Matt is the right leader for Glory House at this important moment,” Liz Stanton, chair of the Glory House board of directors, stated. “He brings substantial executive experience, a deep understanding of South Dakota’s human services delivery system, and a commitment to people facing significant challenges. We believe he will build strong relationships with our staff and partners while advancing the work of Glory House.”
Althoff’s role at the Department of Social Services included overseeing programs serving children, families, and individuals.

Dr. Roger Fredrikson and the many people who have carried this important ministry forward for nearly 60 years. With the Lord’s help, I look forward to supporting South Dakotans who face significant barriers as they work to claim their lives again.”
